VIDEO – Baby Growing in Mommy's Womb' Life is a Miracle !!! There are plenty of great videos available, please choose a video that works for your group. The lie told to so many is that the baby is not a living individual, but rather a blob of tissue. The importance of these videos is to show that a baby is real and is living from the moment of conception.

MOVIE – Horton Hears a Who! In this childhood classic, the video links us to what the previous videos are expressing, “a person is a person no matter how small”. Just like the people in “Whoville”, a baby in the womb is a person no matter how small, and just like Horton, we all must do everything we can to protect life.

The best witness to life would be to see if someone in the community or a group that has a mobile sonogram machine. Maybe two pregnant women, with babies at two different stages, can volunteer so that the group can witness a live sonogram. The stenographer can explain the development. It is good to choose babies that are far enough along so the baby’s features may be clearly seen.

It is good to first understand the reality that there is a baby in the womb and the baby is a living unique individual. Once this fact is established, it is good to move into the hard truth of what really happens to a baby during an abortion.

ACTIVITY – Pro-Choice? What are my choices?Download “procedures” sheet The majority of “pro-choice” groups only give one choice “abortion”. In giving only that choice they are not pro-choice but rather one-choice. Even in presenting only one choice they do not clearly explain what that choice is. They do not explain the procedures and what is happening to both baby and mother. In most surgeries, it is standard practice for the surgeon to give an explanation, maybe even using a diagram or examples of the procedure. If a person is going in for knee surgery the surgeon or nurse would explain not only the procedure but also the recovery time and risks involved. We also recommend having someone who can read this sheet that will not be too high or too low on emotions. The “procedures” sheet should be read word for word so that the truth is known about what happens to mothers and babies during abortion. Planned Parenthood offers an “at a glance” section on abortion on their website. “In-Clinic Abortion Procedures at a Glance. Medical procedures that end pregnancy. Safe and effective. Available from many Planned Parenthood health centers. Costs about $300–$950 in the first trimester.”[i] So according to Planned Parenthood, Abortion is a “medical procedure that ends pregnancy,” it is not the killing of a baby. Abortion is called “safe and effective”, with no mention of the risks during the abortion or permanent scaring of the uterus and post abortion syndrome after. Abortion is conventionally available at many places, at an affordable price. In past years Planned Parenthood defined abortion as the simple removal of the contents of the uterus. However, their definition of Abortion is a lie. A baby is not “contents” and abortion is not “simple”. Planned Parenthood is vague about the procedures and do not go into details on their website, this is why it is important to let people know the truth about what is being chosen in this so called “pro-choice” organizations.

Why would abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood lie about the abortion procedures? It all comes down to money. As the above paragraph said on average an abortion can cost $500 a person. The person usually must pay by cash, check, or debit cards. As previous lessons spoke of, over 3,000 abortions happen every day. If we do the math that’s around or over one million dollars every day they earn on abortion. The abortion industry brings in billions of dollars every year to help their business.

As Abby Johnson, a former director of a Planned Parenthood now Pro-Life advocate, states in her book, “Each year, each clinic has an individual budget meeting. With a feeling of dread I drove to Houston to meet with Cheryl and Barbara to receive the budget for my clinic. The assigned budget always includes a line for client goals under abortion services and a line for client goals under family planning. When I looked at the numbers, I did a double take. I noticed that the client goals related to family planning hadn’t changed much, but the client goals under abortion services had increased significantly… I came away from that meeting with the clear and distinct understanding that I was to get my priorities straight, that abortion was where my priorities needed to be because that was where the revenue was. This meant that my job as the clinic director was to find a way to increase the number of abortions at my clinic.”[ii]
